Jiang Zi, who had been unconsciously hanging his head, stopped, raised his head, and turned towards Fan Yu, who had just stepped into his patrol area. Qin Jian also came behind Fan Yu at this moment. Xiaojiu hovered beside the two of them and was stunned when they met Jiang Zi's blood-red eyes.

"Is this controlled by Blood Moon?"

Jiang Zi didn't give them time to talk. After locking Fan Yu's position, he immediately rushed towards the two of them.

"Don't get entangled!"

"run!"

The shouts of He Si and Jun Jiuzi came from not far away. Fan Yu and Qin Jian actually took back their offensive, turned around and ran away, while Jiang Zi chased after them without losing any speed.

Fan Yu felt useless while running, and asked breathlessly: "Uncle Qin, why did you listen to them?"

Qin Jian couldn't explain clearly. He just had an intuition that the two women knew the current situation better than they did, so he quickly repeated what he heard: "Link, Zelda, treasure hunting NPC."

"What?" Fan Yu Yingfeng frowned, "Uncle Qin, has your Xiaoxiaole advanced to this level?"

"What's the matter with Guan Xiaoxiaole?"

"Didn't you say it yourself? Aren't those all games?"

"game?"

The two seemed to be talking to each other, but they had a tacit understanding. When they were approaching He Si and Jun Jiuzi, they suddenly made an emergency turn around the house at the same time, one left and one right, and the two headed in opposite directions. Jiang Zi behind him was getting faster and faster, not even looking at He Si and Jun Jiuzi who were standing not far away, or Qin Jian who was on the other side, staring at Fan Yu.

"really."

"The hatred is all on Fan Yu."

Qin Jian turned around and chased Jiang Zi. He Si and Jun Jiuzi were anxious that their guesses had been confirmed. Fan Yu, the only one among the four who had not seen the red fan-shaped one, was running around with his head spinning.

"Jiang Zi, what do you mean?" Fan Yu shouted back as he ran. For some reason, Jiang Zi ran faster and faster. Even though there was wind at Fan Yu's feet, the distance between the two became shorter and shorter.

"It's so annoying." Fan Yu muttered and simply stopped, preparing to turn around and give Jiang Zi a blow with his hand. For other matters, he would knock Jiang Zi unconscious and then discuss the matter in a long term.

But as soon as he stopped, he heard Jun Jiuzi and He Si yelling at him again and gesticulating desperately at him. Fan Yu temporarily withdrew the idea of ​​attacking and wanted to calm down and listen to what was going on, but Jiang Zi didn't give him a chance to breathe, and used the inertia of running to rush towards him. Fan Yu lowered his head and dodged the attack. On the other side, when Jiang Zi saw that Fan Yu had not been hit, he immediately turned around and attacked again. Fan Yu dodged and moved back and forth a few times. Jiang Zi was like a cowhide that never gave up. Tang, tirelessly pounced on Fan Yu.

"This is not over yet." Fan Yu felt impatient and prepared to face the challenge head on. He lowered his body and raised his knife.

When Jiang Zi rushed over again with blood-red eyes and an expressionless expression, Fan Yu had already targeted the back of his neck, raised his hand and concentrated all his strength, preparing to chop it down. Vaguely, he seemed to hear the words shouted by He Si and Jun Jiuzi.

"This is a patrol NPC!"

"not good!"

A spark burst out in Fan Yu's brain, which was full of darkness and chaos. He finally understood the meaning of what Lao Chaofeng just said - this is not Jiang Zi, this is the patrol NPC in the game, and he is the player of this game, attacking the NPC. It's useless. The only way is to keep distance and run out of Jiangzi's warning range. But where is the warning line?
"Why can't Uncle Qin speak clearly?"

Fan Yu understood this at this moment, but he couldn't see the warning range. At the same moment, Jiang Zi had already rushed in front of him, and his hand had fallen. He couldn't stop. Inertia ruled this. The world of moments.

"What will happen if you attack the patrolling NPC in the game..."

In the blink of an eye, this question flashed through Fan Yu's mind, and then he watched helplessly as his hand hit the back of Jiang Zi's neck.

The whole world is dark.

Not only Fan Yu's world, but He Si, Jun Jiuzi, and Qin Jian, the three of them who were in different corners of the game, also had their eyes darkened at the same time. When they opened their eyes again, they were back in the original earthen house—— Li Chong's home.

"The world has been reset." Jun Jiuzi opened the door, looked at the unchanged world outside, and slapped herself hard again. The pain on her cheek still couldn't tell whether she was in reality or a dream.

"What's going on?" She turned to He Si for the answer, but saw He Si and Qin Jian both standing in front of the table. Fan Yu was sitting on the chair before, partially blocked by Qin Jian's figure. The whole person was motionless.

The situation was obviously not right. Fan Yu, who should be chattering most at the moment, didn't even complain. Jun Jiuzi quickly closed the door and retreated to the table. Fan Yu was seen slumped on the chair, still in a sitting posture, but his eyes were tightly closed, his limbs were drooped, and he was motionless.

"He..." Jun Jiuzi took a step back, with an expression on her face, avoiding the answer she was most afraid of.

"Still alive." Qin Jian looked solemnly and looked at the two people who were also silent. "Don't worry, he will wake up when we break the dream. But what is going on now?"

"This is not a simple illusion or dream, but a game, or in other words, the owner of the dream is playing a game." He Si tried to explain. She knew that although Qin Jian looked like a college student in his 20s at the moment, in fact But there is a century-old generation gap with this world, especially with the field of video games - his limit is to play Xiaoxiaole.

Sure enough, Qin Jian's brows tightened even more, as if he didn't know why.

"There is such a game," Jun Jiuzi took the baton, "For example, in Jiansanli, which I played before, one task is to help a girl find clothes, but on the way to find clothes, she will encounter Monsters like Jiang Zi, unlike people in the real world, have senses such as vision and hearing, and only have a restricted warning range..."

"Is it the red fan shape on the ground?"

"By the way, as long as you walk within that range, you will be targeted," Jun Jiuzi nodded and continued, "Usually these patrol NPCs in different games have different abilities, and some can be killed. But the one just now...it seems like as long as you are touched by him, you have to start all over again, and the person who touches him will be temporarily incapacitated."

"Then what should you do if you are targeted?"

"If this is the setting, we can only keep distance and run out of the warning range." This time, it was He Si who answered Qin Jian, "But no, we are destined to not be able to outrun these NPCs, because today is the blood moon. .”

"Is the blood moon also a setting in the game?" Qin Jian gradually became clear as he listened. "There is also a blood moon in reality, but this time the illusion is obviously a game, so I thought of the game I played before, Professor Jun also played it, it is very famous..."

"Zelda and Link?" Qin Jianmo recited the two strange terms he just heard.

"Well," He Xi nodded, "In Zelda, every night of the red moon, the monsters in the game that were killed by the protagonist Link will be resurrected."

"Not just Zelda, but many games have this setting. The red moon is the monster's buff." After saying that, Jun Jiuzi was worried that Qin Jian wouldn't understand the word buff, so he added, "It usually means monster." It will be more powerful and it will be very difficult for players.”

"What would you do if you encountered a blood moon in Zelda?"

"Get up." He Si and Jun Jiuzi said in unison, then looked at each other again, smiled at each other, and felt a little more relaxed.

But Qin Jian couldn't understand it again. Although Jun Jiuzi was a girl, he still felt rejected by He Si because of their unique common language, and he felt unhappy.

"Just hide and survive," He Si also saw the change in Qin Jian's expression and explained, "But it definitely can't be done now. If we have to break out of the illusion, we must go out on a red moon night, and based on the information we have obtained so far, From the looks of it, as long as you avoid the warning area, it shouldn’t be difficult to pass the level.”

After He Si finished speaking, he winked at Qin Jian and said, "You know it after passing the customs, it's also in Xiaoxiaole, bonus time."

Looking at He Si's proud little expression, Qin Jian knew that he had been entertained by her. Strangely enough, the unhappiness that was crawling around like a caterpillar in his heart disappeared. He just made up his mind to let Fan Yu wake up. He took himself to play a good game-games other than Match Game.

"Although it's not difficult..." Jun Jiuzi still hesitated, "We have just met the first level, because Miss He can see those range lines. It does not seem difficult, but I don't know if there will be changes later. Once there is a change, the price may be a loss of mobility.”

"Then we have two more chances."

He Si answered easily, but Jun Jiuzi was shocked. She knew the implication of He Si's words. If everyone fell into a coma, they would be trapped in this red moon night forever, and I'm afraid they would also be trapped in this red moon night in reality. It's more bad than good. But He Si could speak so calmly about this matter of life and death, as if he was always on the edge of these extreme situations. When they first met, she thought He Si was weak, shy, and academic. But now that she thinks about it, he is really a person who cannot be judged by his appearance. .

While Jun Jiuzi was still thinking, Qin Jian had already opened the door: "Then let's go."

The three of them set foot on the soft sand again. It was almost nine o'clock, there was still no wind, the night was thick, the red moon appeared more vivid and bright, and the stars had lost their brilliance.

"Sure enough, it is a red moon night that is not suitable for players to set foot on." He Si lamented, but Jun Jiuzi could hear the excitement in his sighing tone.

"She is indeed an unusual woman." Jun Jiuzi also sighed inwardly.

As they expected, the world was like a game, which was reset after Fan Yu touched the mechanism. Except for the four players and the getting darker night, everything else remained unchanged. They were in the same place. Met Jiang Zi who was patrolling.

He Si held Qin Jian with her left hand and Jun Jiuzi with her right hand. With the help of the humanoid plug-in, the three of them walked through the narrow alley very easily.

"The one just now was a bit like the novice adaptation zone."

After Jun Jiuzi finished speaking, He Si nodded. Although she didn't want to admit it, Jiang Zi's test was too easy.

"What if you can't see the fan-shaped area?" Qin Jian reminded them as he followed them - indeed, the simple reason was because there happened to be a cheat among them - He Si. If not, Jun Jiuzi thought for a while. I am afraid that I still haven’t understood that I am in a game, and I am a player. Like Fan Yu just did, one life is one life at a time. Not to mention simple.

Thinking of this, Jun Jiuzi looked at He Si with more eager eyes.

The red moon is still hanging in the sky. There is obviously no change, but it brings great psychological pressure to people. Several people walked through the alley guarded by Jiangzi without saying a word and concentrated on walking westward. If their guess was correct, , after passing Shaquan and heading west, is the direction of the ancestral temple.

Not far away, Qin Jian heard a rustling sound that was different from the footsteps of the three of them, and made a pause gesture.

"What's wrong?" He Si quickly looked back and forth. At this time, several people were in a narrow alley, and there was no strange thing in their sight.

"There." Qin Jian pointed in the direction of the sound, stuck his head out of the alley where they were, and looked north. At that moment, a familiar figure walked out from behind the earthen house.

"Is this...Jiang Zi again?" Jun Jiuzi took a step forward in disbelief, trying to see the face of the future person more clearly.

Unexpectedly, the figure walking straight east turned a stiff 90-degree angle at this moment and came south along the house wall, aiming at the entrance of the alley where the few people were. The red fan shape with his heel as the center also turned in an instant, almost reaching Jun Jiuzi's feet, but Jun Jiuzi couldn't see it.

"Danger!" He Si shouted in a low voice. Jun Jiuzi knew that a fan was coming, and subconsciously moved in the opposite direction of Jiang Zi's movement, taking two steps back. But because he was anxious, he failed to step firmly on the uneven sand, and his whole body fell backwards.

"do not!"

Before He Si's words reached Jun Jiuzi's mind, Qin Jian beside him moved and reached out to grab Jun Jiuzi who almost fell. Out of urgency, he stretched out his dominant right hand, but he forgot that the injury in that hand had not yet healed. The tearing pain spread from his forearm to his shoulder, and his hand relaxed uncontrollably.

There was someone behind him—Jun Jiuzi, realizing this dilemma, felt his scalp numb. The hand holding her seemed to have lost its strength, but that was her only hope to escape from danger. She had no choice, and instinctively stretched out her other hand to reach for her own life-saving straw. She failed to grab Qin Jian's hand and could only reach a string of round beads on Qin Jian's wrist. Qin Jian also recovered at this moment, gritted his teeth and used his right hand to pull Jun Jiuzi into the alley behind him.

There was a "pop" sound, and something disconnected.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Jun Jiuzi looked ashamed and apologized hurriedly. She saw blood-red beads falling to the ground on the sand under her feet.

Before Jun Jiuzi finished her apology, He Si's face suddenly turned pale. In her sight, a bead was quickly rolling towards the entrance of the alley, and the two overlapping fans scanned the bead almost at the same time - That is Qin Jian's Imperial House bracelet.

"It's just a bead, not a human being. It should be fine." He Si prayed in her heart, but she was deceiving herself. The two figures who had been walking stiffly and rigidly just a moment ago roared and ran toward the alley angrily.

Knowing it was useless, He Si still pulled Qin Jian and ran back. As she ran, she raised her head and glanced at Qin Jian. The bloody moonlight reflected the two figures running wildly, and also reflected the despair in He Si's eyes.

"Just sleep for a while, Si, it's okay." Qin Jian smiled and took his hand out of He Si's hand little by little.
